Every situation is inseparable from lived experience. | 一切景語皆情語

The Situated Reality Lab explores how computing can become a seamless and symbiotic extension of human capability and environmental intelligence. Our work brings together human–computer interaction, extended reality, artificial intelligence, sensing and systems engineering to create technologies that work beyond controlled settings.
Our research is organised around three connected directions:
- Human Augmentation — embodied AI, telexistence, cybernetic avatars and technologies that extend human capability.
- Situational Spatial Intelligence — context-aware AI and adaptive interfaces that understand people, place, activity and intent.
- Robust & Deployable XR — resilient immersive systems and infrastructure designed for real-world environments.
The site includes:
- About — our research position, approach and latest updates
- Team — current members, collaborators and alumni
- Research — research pillars and themes
- Publications — peer-reviewed publications and awards
- Teaching — current teaching and earlier supervision
- Join Us — PhD, postdoctoral, research assistant and visiting opportunities

Clone the repository and serve its root directory with any static web server. For example:
git clone https://github.com/Situated-Reality/situated-reality.git
cd situated-reality
python3 -m http.server 8000Then open http://localhost:8000 in a browser.
The production site is published from the main branch using GitHub Pages. The custom domain is configured through CNAME as www.situated-reality.org, with DNS managed separately by the domain provider.
Changes pushed to main are deployed automatically by GitHub Pages. After updating content, check the live site on both desktop and mobile once the deployment has completed.
